The Bathurst 12 Hour race has finally overcome the minor crisis triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic in the early 2020s. For the first time since 2020, the last edition before the pandemic, the field again comprises more than 30 cars.
The GT3 field alone has grown to 31 cars. Particularly encouraging is the 15 cars in the Pro Cup, a number not seen since before the pandemic. This is made possible, among other things, by the addition of General Motors and Ford to the Intercontinental GT Challenge (IGTC), which this year boasts six manufacturers, its strongest line-up since 2019.
